Exnora Saving the Environment

Exnora is literally a household name in all of South India, thanks to its flagship project, the Civic Exnora. For a membership fee of Rs. 1,000 per locality and an annual subscription of Rs.100, a “street beautifier” is recruited. He collects garbage from every household in the neighbourhood to place it in hydro containers, so that corporation workers can easily mount them on trucks. There are 5,000 such chapters in Southern India, covering about 30,000 streets and settlements.

Poisonous Cucumbers

I had a delicious ham sandwich with salad for lunch today. It was only after I had eaten the full sandwich that a bit of cucumber fell out, did I realize that I had eaten about half a cucumber in my sandwich. I was worried for the rest of the day, as I walked around feeling a slight pain in my tummy. But, it is now late evening and everything is fine.

Environmental Awareness on Squidoo

The environment and ecology of our planet is something we all take for granted. I have always had a keen interest in the environment, which led me to do a degree course in environment and ecology a few years ago.

When I discovered Squidoo and the ease with which I could create sites, called lens on Squidoo, I decided to make a lens on the environment. This was just one powerful way to present the importance of our environment in the form of a Debate. I have succeeded in getting my message across, as you will notice at the people who have taken part in this debate on my squidoo lens.

 We all remember the great anglo-indian writer Rudyard Kipling’s world famous “Jungle Book”, which was immortalized by Disney as a movie and which is now a literary classic. I have created a tribute Squidoo lens to Rudyard Kipling who was an ecologist at heart. Kipling wrote such great stories, while using the powerful imagery of the jungle and village environment of Colonial India as a backdrop for his stories. I now present to you, the Rudyard Kipling tribute lens on Squidoo. Enjoy!

Greenland, the Newest Nation on Earth
